The current global energy crisis means that sustainability now supplants necessity as the mother of all invention. Concordia University's Georgios Vatistas, professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, has taken this adage to heart with his reinvention of an industrial staple: the heat exchanger. http://phys.org/news248538897.html Technology Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:50:03 EST news248538897 (PhysOrg.com) -- A team of physicists from the University of Toronto and Rutgers University have mimicked the explosion of a supernova in miniature. http://phys.org/news210517084.html Physics Thu, 02 Dec 2010 12:58:26 EST news210517084 John Dabiri, assistant professor of aeronautics and bioengineering at Caltech who won a MacArthur Award this year, is fascinated by jellyfish. He believes jellyfish propulsion can inform engineering, which in turn can inform efficiency in wave and wind technology. He recently spoke with the Los Angeles Times. http://phys.org/news208440736.html Technology Mon, 08 Nov 2010 13:50:05 EST news208440736 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists in the US have solved the mystery of how peat mosses manage to get their spores high enough to catch the wind, discovering that they produce vortex rings of air, like miniature "mushroom clouds" to boost the spores along -- the first time plants have been shown to be capable of creating such rings. http://phys.org/news199081900.html Biology Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:00:01 EST news199081900
